Not only is it Thursday Challenge day again, but also Last Thursday with YAM.  The first has the prompt of SKY (or anything to do with...),  and the second is to pick an image and work it into another art piece with whichever software you choose...for fun, creativity and ...just because!

The sky images are all from India, taken with the 'Nik' on various settings... the montage has taken on an even more hazy effect than the original shots - not entirely sure why but is is not displeasing.

It was originally shot at Australian Reptile Park, Gosford, NSW with the Minolta digicam.

Please feel free to link up your Last Thursday shots - please respect that this linkup is for those who have placed an entry with Dale's Spunwithtears meme page today (or members of this site) and should show an image which you have reworked in photographic software. Let's have fun!

Wings on Wednesday -

YAM's take on the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright hilarious in respect to photographing birds.

Delving into the archives here is one of the scanned print series.  This was early in the years of the Minolta SLR and is perhaps 35 years ago... swan and black-head gull on Blackford Pond, Edinburgh.

Share your attempts at bird photography (or winged insects)!

Mondays Critters

Last week you saw the serene face of a mother dog... here she is with one of her litter at the time which had been held back by the family and being integrated as part of their pack...
